When Usman Khan was convicted for being part of a plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange, the judge was under no illusion about the serious danger he posed to society. After pretending he had rejected Islamic extremism, the 28-year-old quickly became the 'poster boy' for the prisoner rehabilitation system. Throughout his sentence Khan was graded a 'high risk' prisoner 'whose escape would be highly dangerous'. In a 14-page report, Mr Skelton wrote that Khan's 'likelihood of reoffending is low and the risk of extremism is low'. The deputy director of MI5 admitted that it had intelligence that Khan wanted to 'die and go to paradise'.
